Jicama and Mango Salad with Chili Lime Dressing

Ingredients

• Jicama (1 medium, peeled and julienned)
• Mango (2 ripe, peeled and diced)
• Red bell pepper (1, seeded and diced)
• Cucumber (1, peeled and diced)
• Red onion (1 small, thinly sliced)
• Fresh cilantro (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
• Lime juice (1/4 cup, freshly squeezed)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Chili powder (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the jicama, mango, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and fresh cilantro.
2. To prepare the dressing, in a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, salt, and chili powder until well blended.
3. Drizzle the homemade chili lime dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
4. Toss the salad gently until all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
5. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and intensify, creating a more flavorful salad.
6. Serve the salad chilled. It's a perfect side dish for grilled meats or fish, or it can be enjoyed as a light and refreshing meal on its own.
